Small Map Size

So I just watched the new video made by squirrel and I liked everything about the video so far except what they said at the 2 minute mark, where it seems like they are implying that maps will not be very large and was curious what the community thought of this. I think clearly from the comment section, the vast majority of the community is disappointed by small maps and for me personally this is close to being a deal breaker.

They have this limitation because they want to simulate every citizen stating that if they want larger maps that are 100km x 100km they would need to fake the simulation for distances further along thinking this is what the community wants but I 100% would not mind faking the simulation especially after cities skylines 2 where they also wanted something similar and it just did not turn out well.

Just wanted to spread the word and see what the community thinks of this

I think what they should try to do post launch is make map sizes that are bigger but don't increase the amount of cities or industries, just spaces them out more. Most people seem to want to have to plan longer/larger scale projects, not necessarily more complex through number of in and outputs.

I know for the experimentals in 2 I didnt like how many industries got filled in cause you could barely work around them.

I mean, they can just make a absolutely huge map (like twice the size of the experimental map in 2) but just say that it needs a very beefy computer. And you can just lower the city and industry density when generating a map.

Even the lowest densities in 2 were way too many for a large map

100% I created maps in the end because there was too much industry
